Frequently asked questions

We’ve compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions on San Diego dumpster rentals. These are specific to the San Diego area, so if you have any questions that are more general in nature, you might also find our full FAQ page helpful.

To put a dumpster in the public right-of-way, you will need a Right-of-Way permit. The public right-of-way includes streets, sidewalks, alleys, and other public property. However, if you place it on your private property such as your driveway, then a permit is not necessary. For further information, contact the San Diego Department of Services.

Currently, the fee for obtaining the permit is $76.07

The City of San Diego requires that at least ten feet of clear space is allowed between the dumpster door and the closest obstruction. At least 25 feet must also be allowed between the door and a nearby alley or curb return. 72 hours before dumpster placement, you must erect “No Parking” signs in the vicinity of where the unit will be situated. Additionally, you are required to place a type 1 barricade equipped with a flashing light on either side of the container. Please check out the San Diego Dumpster Placement Criteria for additional regulations.

    Dumpster was half the size of my last 10 yard dumpster i rented. My delivery came very late in the day so i really only had the dumpster for 2 days. I had to call throughout the entire day. Customer service was awesome minus the late delivery. I feel i paid twice as much as the last dumpster i rented for half the size.

    I was very impressed by the driver...He was very friendly and very enjoyable...The problem i had was the size of the container...The container was very short instead of the normal high container...The driver explain to me that whoever took the order marked a25 vs 40...Since he was very friendly and enjoyable i did not have the heart to tell him that i was not satisfied and rec’d the container...My husband and i had a hard time trying to keep the trash flat on the container...Other than that i thank you for the service...Connie
